HUNTSVILLE, Alabama – Parkway Place Mall in Huntsville was recently named Team of the Year for 2013 for properties under 700,000 square feet by owner CBL & Associates in Tennessee.

The annual awards ceremony was held at a regional leadership meeting in Atlanta earlier this month. Every year, CBL & Associates honors a shopping center in three different size categories that has "excelled" in specialty leasing, branding, net operating income and sales.

"Parkway Place had a tremendous year in 2013," said Regional Director of Management Mike Johnson. "The mall team is to be commended for their efforts and we look forward to more great results this year."

The 650,000-square-foot shopping development also won awards for outstanding brand development and highest increase of net operating income. Parkway Place General Manager Joe Black said 2013 was the second straight year his mall received the Team of the Year award.
